APATURA I. 
the last, which is minute and sometimes wanting; occasionally an additional 
ocellus, less distinct than the rest, may be discovered on costal margin; on the 
middle of this margin a large sordid white spot, and five minute spots of similar 
color, form a band which passes around the extremity of cell; these last are 
not often distinct and frequently are in part or altogether obsolete, or are rep¬ 
resented by a slightly paler shade of the ground color; in the cell are three 
taint spots, disposed much like the spots Jn cell of primaries; fringes white in 
the emarginations, fuscous at tips of nervules. 
Under side of primaries either clear brown or grayish-brown, the outer limb 
pale fuscous; the marginal spots repeated, distinct; the white spots diffuse • in 
the discoidal interspace an ocellus inclosing the white spot; in the cases where 
there is more than one ocellus on the upper side there is*a corresponding one 
below, and all but the lowest inclose white spots; next before the inner row of 
spots a sinuous fuscous stripe. 
Secondaries either clear brown or grayish-brown, often with a pink tint • the 
oce i repeated, seven in all, the one on costal margin being present, the seventh 
often duplex, each with blue or as often lilaceous pupil and yellowish iris, out¬ 
side of which is a narrow black ring; on the sub-median interspace is another 
ocellus, either rounded or long oval and without pupil • a pale fuscous band 
crosses the wing obliquely next anterior to the ocelli, and is preceded by an ir¬ 
regularly scalloped fuscous line, the space between the band and line beim- 
occupied by a row of small spots of the ground color, which extend quite across 
the wing and in part correspond to the discal row on upper side; the spots in 
the cel repeated ; another above cell on the costal interspace, against the up- 
pci most of the cellular spots and sometimes seeming to be a continuation of it 
but most often separated; each of these pale brown within and edged by fus- 
cous; there is also sometimes a small spot at base of upper branch of sub-costal 
nervure, making on this area four or five spots; the sub-marginal lines repeated, 
distinct, biown or dull red; the inner margin also bordered by a line 
Body above olive-brown, beneath gray with an ochraceous tint on abdomen • 
egs light buff or cream color ; palpi white, with brown hairs above and at tip • 
antennas fuscous finely ringed on upper side with white, the under side bei'm 
ye lowish; club brown at base, clear white on upper half and at tip; some- 
times the club is pale green. 
Female. — Expands 2 inches. Similar in color, and varying as in the male • 
the markings similar. ° ’ 
The foregoing description is taken from the summer type of this species. The 
earhest brood, from larval which have hybernated, are in general much paler 
colored, the gray shades predominating, and the fuscous portions beim- pale
